## About "spirit" in BIP39

- "spirit" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"spir"**, already identify it, because **"spi"** also begins [spice](/bip39-word/spice/), [spider](/bip39-word/spider/), [spike](/bip39-word/spike/) and [spin](/bip39-word/spin/).
- **"spir"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins spiral in the [French list](/french/) and spirale in the [Italian list](/italian/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
